We’re excited to share the topic and questions for this week’s #HITsm chat happening Friday, 9/8 at Noon ET (9 AM PT). This week’s chat will be hosted by Naomi Fried (@naomifried) on the topic of “Digital Health Innovation in Pharma.”
The digital health revolution is in full swing. Each year, more and more digital innovations are coming to market that leverage hardware and software to provide new ways of delivering care and information to patients and providers. These solutions can improve outcomes, drive down costs, and/or boost efficiency.

Healthcare stakeholders are beginning to understand digital health’s ability to radically reshape the healthcare landscape. While many firms in the pharmaceutical and biotech sector (“biopharma”) are only slowly awakening to digital health’s potential, some forward-thinking biopharma companies are aggressively looking for ways to use digital health to strengthen their businesses. They see it as critical to improving patient outcomes, building connections with providers and patients, strengthening their brand, and driving new revenues.

Join our Twitter chat as we explore the growing opportunity for digital health innovation in pharma and biotech. We’ll discuss some of the exciting opportunities that are emerging; what is working and what isn’t; and which business models seem to be succeeding. Share your thoughts during our conversation September 8th at 9-10 am PT!
